First Images and Plot Details for ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’

Director Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the anticipated sequel to 2014’s Godzilla, is returning to theaters early next year. Today, however, we can share the first bunch of images and new plot details for you courtesy of EW.

In a recent chat with the site, Dougherty had a bit to say about the project that will further expand Legendary’s MonsterVerse:

“The world is reacting to Godzilla in the same way we would react to any other terrifying incident, in that we are overreacting… there’s paranoia and endless speculation about whether he is the only one out there or whether we’re threatened by others like his kind.”

The film is being produced by Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Brian Rogers and Thomas Tull, with Barry H. Waldman, Zach Shields, Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira serving as executive producers and Alexandra Mendes co-producing for Legendary.
